U.S. Reps Kathleen Rice + Bill Pascrell, Jr. sent bipartisan letter w/ members of NY + NJ delegations to @BOEM_DOI requesting to designate Wind Energy Areas in NY Bight, hold lease auctions for developers. Director Joe Martens @jjmartens7 quoted. Scoop: https://t.co/xYfl32PkqU
Thanks to @RepKathleenRice and @BillPascrell and all representatives who support offshore wind. It's smart energy and economic development policy and new Administration in D.C. is listening.
The Future is Wind Energy!
The potential to power 6 million homes, create 50,000 jobs, & attract $29 billion in private investment is a win for the economy, environment & local communities.
Our future blowing in the wind! #Windsday @BOEM_DOI https://t.co/VZ0dJs1swE
Great @Newsday editorial on the importance of projects like @SouthForkWind to deliver clean energy and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. We cannot let “baseless NIMBY concerns” derail the fight “that’s vital to the health of our region.”
Excellent. #Offshorewind is having a moment, and none too soon. Green energy can put the wind in Long Island's sails https://t.co/LBszlP0p04 via @Newsday
"...But baseless NIMBY concerns, like those raised by some Wainscott residents against the landing of an underground cable in that South Fork community, cannot be allowed to derail this fight that’s vital to the health of our region."

#NYOffshoreWind momentum is building! 🌬️ Check out @Newsday's editorial on how #OSW developers from around the globe are eager to deploy wind projects off Long Island ⤵️ https://t.co/yDTiWa3Hg4
"There’s a lot at stake in the state’s overall green energy program, besides the juice capable of powering 6M homes. @NYGovCuomo says it will create more than 50k jobs & attract $29B in private investment. Good environmental policy is good economic policy" https://t.co/UiWWsZ2nMH
@NewsdayOpinion: Green energy can put the wind in Long Island's sails. Offshore wind is having a moment, and none too soon.
Now, the winds of change are blowing mostly in the right direction. #offshorewind#nyoffshorewind https://t.co/nuaxQ4PG5w
Offshore wind is about the future of New York, it's about supporting our critical climate goals and building a renewable energy economy that will create local, family-wage jobs.

The economic benefits of renewable energy projects will allow local governments to maintain services, hold down taxes, all while we put thousands of New Yorkers back to work with family-supporting jobs. https://t.co/uZQbkdT2Ow
"There’s a lot at stake in the state’s overall green energy program... Cuomo says it also will create more than 50K jobs and attract $29 billion in private investment. Good environmental policy is good economic policy, too."

Lots of appeals today from Long Islanders, like Judith, for BOEM to complete its review and approve the South Fork project. Long Island is ground zero in the battle against the #ClimateCrisis. @NYOffshoreWind will testify Thursday.
A cable in your road or flooding ruining your quality of life? Addressing climate change is critical and we need to act now. #offshorewind @BOEM_DOI @SouthForkWind
